Universal Orlando Offers Photo Connect--Who Knew?

We are counting down the days until our 12th trip
to Walt Disney World, our 6th Disney Cruise, and our 2nd trip
to Universal Orlando.Even with all of
our experiences, there are still some things still have yet to learn.

It wasn’t until our 2nd or 3rd trip to
Walt Disney World that we fell in love with Disney’s Photopass service.Since then, we have pre-ordered and pre-paid
for the Photopass CD prior to multiple trips and last summer, did the same for
Photopass+ (click here to read more) which has now morphed into Memory Maker,
which we already have added to our My Disney Experience account—click here to read more about Memory Maker.

So, when planning our time at Universal Orlando, I wondered
if they, too, had a similar service as Disney’s Photopass.And, indeed they do!Enter, Universal’s Photo Connect.

Finding information about this service is NOT easy and there
is nothing about it on Universal’s website.Here’s a link to a great article that explains everything you would ever
want to know—click here.I have gone
back to this site repeatedly trying to figure our exactly what would happen and
what to expect.

We purchased the one-day digital package for $39.95.Given that prints of ride photos start at $17
and go up from there, paying $40 for digital access to all of our ride photos
is a bargain!Of course, the one-day
package is only available on-line and for pre-order. Click here for the pre-order page.

Once we made the purchase, I received an email with very
clear directions.I print out the email,
which has a barcode, take the print out to any Universal Photographer, present
the barcode, get my first picture taken and receive instructions on where to
get my Photo Connect card.After that,
my Photo Connect Card will be scanned and all photos will go into my Photo
Connect account automatically.

After we get home, I log into my Photo Connect account, edit
and download all of our photos.There’s
even a scanner for Smartphones to access the digital photos.There are also opportunities to customize
merchandise with your photos on the Photo Connect site.
